Bishop Square Pauahi Tower and Tamarind Park, designed for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company of Milwaukee, together with the existing Pacific Tower, form the major urban complex in downtown Honolulu’s financial district. Bishop Square was the recipient of the City Council’s first annual Project of the Year Award, as well as an Award of Merit for Architectural Excellence in Urban Design from Hawaii Society/The American Institute of Architects. It was cited as “an excellent example of good urban design while encouraging the development of quality open space in a high-rise area.”

Pauahi Tower is a 28-story, 430,000 square foot reinforced concrete structure featuring an Italian travertine marble and dark-gray glass exterior. There is one level of parking below both the tower and Tamarind Park with access through the existing Pacific Tower parking garage. The park contains extensive water features, multi-level walkways, lawn and planting, and is the setting for many civic and cultural events.
